IT Observer quotes the statistics on UK instant messaging usage. The survey was conducted by Manchester Business School for Telewest Broadband in UK. 33% of British companies are giving staff access to instant messaging, compared to 84% who have a company intranet. While more than half of the companies with IM felt that it did benefit the organisation (58%), only 3% of these said that it was used as a formal communications tool.
